₦airaland Forum

kross_01: ekoilee called me ignorant for disputing this as a suspension bridge even with all the columns from the water carrying the load.please which part of the deck are the cables suspending? I rest my case.

Goddex: Fashola owns that yacht. Funny how ACN peeps on nairaland claim ignorance when it's common knowledge. Shame on the tourism commissioner for lying to Nigerians.

eaglechild: Don't be senseless
A ship is not a box of sweets.
A vessel like that is capable of smuggling contraband items including arms etc, so for you to label it private property and then deem it fit to come and go as it pleases is ridiculous!
Whenever it has to do with Lagos state you become blind to reality.
Eko oni baje my azz.

kross_01: with all due respect sir, all through the length of the bridge in the pix u posted that spanned across the water, did you see any column(s) supporting the bridge asides the column handling the suspension cables?

dammytosh: Ok so you think everybody rely on crumbs from Tinubu's table.

Tell me the rumor in the stated fact or keep licking your pay master's boot.


Please note that I don't engage politicians on argument that will move the nation forward cos all you know is agenda and loyalty to you f*** up masters.

Ricky_Ross: Guy I will advise u go check your BP, the way you shiver at the mention of GEJ name is alarming. OBJ misruled Nigeria for 8 years and you didnt say anything. GEJ is under 4 yrs and you are already crying fowl.

So far, GEJ is the best Nigerian president ever. No other Nigerian president has ever delivered so much projects under 3 years. I know bc I just left Nigeria last month. No matter how you rant online, GEJ will rule Nigeria beyond 2015. GEJ is not arrogant like OBJ and the rest, he is cool headed and doesn't make noise. We know the empty vessels makes the most noise. If GEJ decides to contests the next general election, he will win by a BIG margin and there is nothing you can do about it other than ranting on nairaland.

dammytosh: Hater ? for speaking the obvious. For your info i am a Yoruba Boy leaving and paying my tax in Lagos. E-diot.

kross_01: u mean u can still call that suspension bridge even with the obvious supporting collumns underneath? Look at the second picture that was posted by shymexx

Venchy: So who's PPP, foreign company, who offers them the contract, lagos state Government and who's going to bare the cost or signed an agreement with PPP, Lagos state Government and not federal means Mr Fash is responsible, so what are we talking about.?

Billyonaire: Its NOT Fashola or Lagos State project. The Lekki Bridge is a PPP project financed by a private company.

The sum of N10 billion has been released by the Lagos State Government to bigwig construction outfit, Messrs. Julius Berger Plc, towards the excution of two major infrastructure development projects in the bustling city.


The projects include the expansion of the Eric Moore-Mile 2 Road (which is the initial leg of the multi-billion-naira, multi-phase Lagos-Badagry Expressway rehabilitation scheme) as well as the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge (connecting Lekki Peninsular Scheme I with Osborne Road in Ikoyi).

crisycent: The person that posted this does not know the meaning of a SUSPENSION BRIDGE. From the pictures, this is just a regular bridge like the 3rd mainland and it has a suspension bridge design. Fact is that the so called iron/poles/ropes locking on the concrete bribge is just fashion, it is not holding or stabilizing the bridge in any way!!!!

eaglechild: But this is an international ship in national waters.

It cannot just sail away like that without the state authorities at least knowing it's whereabouts.

redsun: Shameless animal.He was speaking about exactly opposite of what you think makes city,tribal and backwardness.Instead of diversity and buoyancy that he is on about.

But your urge to promote anything fashola cannot let see that the theme of the message is speaking to static creatures to embrace evolution.

biafran soul: the hypocricy on this forum ala some peeps is so unbelievable. imagine it was FG that made that pronounciation without any tangible evidence..

speedyboi: as much as i like eko ile and texas.cowgirl. I really think both of you are now becoming a nuisance on this forum. When will you peeps learn that, only people who live in a city can make conclusions about those cities? Texas.cowgirl, you don't even live in Nigeria, yet you will take your time (which you could have used for more constructive things) to search for some ridiculous and mostly old pictures on the internet. for what exactly? To prove what? We all need to start thinking right! If Nigerians think they are alright, then live it that way, and stop meddling.

eko-ile, this post is very ridiculous. If anyone should start any post of this kind, it should be an abuja resident...who knows the recent happenings and not you posting different angles of the same camera. how ridiculous can you get? I wonder what some Nairalanders derive from all this shii. I visit lagos so well (official purposes), I know things that are not right, i know the media propaganda, i know Lagos. But what you will never see me do is bash Lagos or any other place for that matter. If Lagos residents say everything is alright, who am i to say NO?


If Abuja residents say everything is fine, who is eko-ile to say NO?
And it's even more sad to think that you guys are ____________eeerm...never mind

Okija_juju: This thread is a joke best suited for a beer palour.. I jumped in hoping to see something and ended up disappointed. 1 camera pole that was obviously brought down as a result of an accident is what the OP is calling the entire CCTV programme as packed up.. Its like entering a road with many streetlights only to find one that is bad and then photograph it and call the entire street as having no streetlights..

This is very sad the extent Nigerians would go to rubbish their own.

The Mod that put this uselss thread on the frontpage is just as much a person as the OP.

Leading debate on the motion, he raised concern about the quality of materials being used by the Chinese company alleging that they were substandard.

He further noted that the poles being used for the CCTV cameras were different from the ones used by the same company in countries like Ghana, Senegal, Morroco and Malaysia.

He said,"the National Public Security Communication System is based in a system known as Global Trunking Architecture which provides telecommunication and it could be used to monitor elections and verification of election results as well as disaster management and control.

"The contractual details of the transaction with the Federal Government is presently shrouded in secrecy which is a clear violation of the doctrine of transparency, accountability and an infringement of the laws of the country," Honourable Saleh said..

redsun: Things should be seen fundamentally.City building starts from the basics to the sumptuous.The romans or the egyptians used the aquaeducts to supply their cities with safe useable and drinkable water thousands of years ago.But in 21st century nigeria,half of city dwellers still can't get useable and drinkable water without enormous fuss and life threatening diseases. And in the same city,the marvel and height of bridge building technology and knowhow is being showcased,just because they can simply pay oyinbos enormously to come and mount it,while the people still lack the basics.

redsun: You are talking to an animal that live in a an environment that doesn't really understand the concept of kpako bridge.But because they try to imitate dubia and all the artificial cities that tries to run before they crawl,they think a suspension bridges is what a city that lacks basic pipe borne water needs.A city that can't supply the majority of her inhabitants with safe drinkable water and chatted sewage network. The basics.

Ekoile is monkey that wears monkey jacket.

IGBO-SON:
^^^So can you give any insight into the benefits of a suspension model over what we normally build in Nigeria; try leaving out the abuse this time.......i know it's hard, but try!

PS- and don't consult google either!

IGBO-SON:
^^^You need to quit getting so emotional all the time.....not good for your BP mate. Abi you no see where due credit was given in my previous post?

And where do you come off thinking other Governors and GEJ aren't signing contract papers as well?; you're acting so defensive/possessive with that statement.

IGBO-SON:
Can any civil engineers in the house tell us the benefits of using the suspension model as against building a plain old bridge (like third mainland and others); and i thought suspension bridges are meant to have two of those suspension towers ......don't know the technical implications, but it just looks more balanced and pleasing to the eye.

biafran soul: jealousy jealousy na im dey worry you
bad belle na im dey worry you
my own be say God go forgive you.....

redsun: I don't waste time with animals like you.There is nothing to speak to you about but to lock you up.

I am the predator while you are the prey.I am the one hunting you,not otherwise.

redsun: You have no moral justification to yarn iN a place like this. You are just as shamelessly evil lie them,like tinubu.

BAAASTARD!

redsun: He is not,it is because gej has no moral justification to do that,because he is part of the crew.

But that is where he wrong,he doesn't know he can turn the crew around,change it for good and still be forgiven by the people.

redsun: Imagine this ape talking like an ancient roman emperor.Who said they are his aides?All man and individuals are responsible for themselves and actions.Non is under nobody,unless it is absolutely necessary and rewarding.

Obj must be jailed for nigeria to be at peace.There no way nigeria will make sense with retarded criminals like obj in the scene.It is unserious.

Late Sam Phil-Ebosie… He obtained his commercial flying pilot at 19
Phil-Ebosie was a pilot for former president Shehu Shagari.

Contrary to an earlier report that a 20-year-old, Favour Odozor, emerged as the youngest Nigeria with a Commercial Pilot Licence; investigations have revealed that the feat belongs to Sam Phil-Ebosie.

Mr. Phil-Ebosie, now deceased, graduated as a licensed commercial pilot at 19 at the Nigerian Civil Aviation School, Zaria, in 1970.

Born July 27, 1951, to Emman Phil-Ebosie, Nigeria’s foremost indigenous ENT Surgeon, and Yewande Phil-Ebosie; Mr. Phil-Ebosie was the third of four brothers.

He had his primary education at Ladi-Lak Institute, and later transferred to Government Demonstration School, Surulere, Lagos.

After his secondary education at the prestigious Kings College, Lagos, Mr. Phil-Ebosie’s decision to become a Civil Aviator shocked both his family and teachers as well as his mates.

In Zaria, he graduated at the top of his class, and began his commercial flying career with the now defunct Nigerian Airways.

Through his flying career, which spanned over a decade, Mr. Phil-Ebosie was trained on the Fokker 27, Fokker 28, Boeing 737, Boeing 707, and DC 10.

In 1977, while still at the Nigeria Airways, he was confirmed the youngest Fokker 27 Captain at the age of 25.

The height of Mr. Phil-Ebosie’s professional flying career was when, at 30, he became the youngest ever Captain in the world to fly the wide bodied aircraft in 1981.

During his career, he was the preferred long haul Captain for the Presidential Fleet, flying then President Shehu Shagari to the Hajj in Saudi Arabia; the Commonwealth conference in Australia, United Nation’s conference in New York; and several other destinations.

He also flew the then Vice President, Alex Ekwueme, on several occasions.[/b]


Media reports had credited Mr. Odozor with the feat after the young Nigerian graduated, alongside 15 others, at the Afrika Union Aviation Authority in South Africa.

Captain Allan Roebuck, Director of AUAA, had said that Mr. Odozor completed all the 37 flying procedures in record time to become “the youngest commercial licence pilot in both Nigeria and South Africa.”

“I cannot say now if he is the youngest African to attain that record, but I’m sure he is the youngest in South Africa and Nigeria,” Mr. Roebuck had told the News Agency of Nigeria.

Mr. Phil-Ebosie retired from the Nigerian Airways in 1985, and then joined Saudi Airlines where he worked as a Lockheed Tri-Star L1011 Captain.

Between 1986 and 1995, he worked at PH Aviation Teterboro, New Jersey; UPS, New York; and Federal Express, Memphis.

In 1995, after 27 years of commercial flying, Mr. Phil-Ebosie drew the curtains on his career, and then opened Skynote, his own private aviation support company.

Until his death in 2012, he remained a keen aviator, consulting in different areas of the aviation sector.

visalo: Nairaland forum is becoming some thing else. So OBJ have turn hero just over night. Haters keep ethnicity aside and live up to the reality on ground. Gej goverment is just relatively close to 2yrs and he has done more than enough what obj couldn`t achieve for 8yrs. obj awarded east west road and for 4yrs ,he only gave 2billions naira to the contractors out of a project of 230billion naira. work on the road came to an end because of obj poor funding. today thesame east west road project is almost 60% completed by gej goverment that every tom and jerry from west is citicizing. Thesame obj syphone over 16billion dollars power project fund, which would have better nigeria youth and no one is complaining. Thesame obj unable to complete sango-ota bridge, and today haters are celebrating him as a hero. Even the moral aspect of this man is next to nothing, a maqn who was boldly dating his son wife. Haters grow up and live upto reality on ground. Gej may not be the best but he has done what no other have achieve within the few yrs has spent so far. today am sure that even haters can testfy with me that nigeria road networks are changing for good. Gej i heal you sir. ride on
